physics and philosophy of an ancient language

1.1 References and Resources

Update: A revised list of references and Resources is posted in February 2019 Archives.

Here are some sources for the Western Wosite researcher. Admittedly, English language books are scarce, as are Internet web sites. Do not be discouraged as we are here to supply important information in English.

Books

The first modern books on Wosite were written (in Japanese) by Yoshinosuke Matsumoto after he had studied the Hotsuma Tsutae for thirty years. Two books appeared in English.

1.Mitsuru Ikeda, The World of the Hotsuma Legends, Japan Translation Center, 1996

Our sister blogsite, https://okunomichi.wordpress.com/ has carried posts on Woshite which can be found by searching on this word. These were earlier posts that were translated from various Japanese language sources to the best of our ability at that time. We have since had the honor and the privilege to study with Wosite researchers and have produced this site devoted to Wosite research.

Online Japanese-English dictionary

If you have a digital text in Japanese, you can copy and paste it into this dictionary: http://jisho.org/. “Enter any Japanese text or English word in the search box and Jisho will search a myriad of data for you.”

We hope that this Woshite World site now makes Wosite research more accessible to English language readers.
